Fade progress: 2 weeks

I took these pictures 2 weeks after I got my fade.
I hadn't gotten a lining or anything.
I simply cowashed and slicked my hair down with a little ecostyler gel and a brush, tying down a durag down till it dried.

My neck is mad hairy lol.

Medium-sized Twists

I did these once during the summer.
They look much better on camera, I think.
I promise I am wearing a tube top in these pictures, lol.
These were done on freshly cowashed hair without any product at all. I wasn't at my own home, and had none of my products with me.

1 month fade anniversary! January 2013-Monthly hair update

Exactly one month ago I shaved my head! Yay!
It's been a mostly uneventful month, but I think I should maybe get into the habit of doing monthly hair updates. You know, get some kind of structure on this joint, know what I mean?

Routine/Products: Shampoo/condition daily with Bioinfusion Shampoo and Suave Humectant. Rub in small amounts of Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and Ecostyler Gel. Let dry. At night, I usually rub my head with castor oil or jojoba oil.

Likes: I almost have a legit TWA now! Yay!

Dislikes: My head is COLD. It's freezing outside and my poor dome is suffering the brunt of it. Repeat to self: I must remember to put on hats, I must remember to put on hats, I must remember....

OOTD: Afrikan-inspired for the Office (Old post)

I love incorporating my pride in my African heritage into my personal style.
Currently, I don't have too many pieces, so I try to utilize the few that I do.

Top: My mother's friend purchased it in.. Ghana, I believe...but I could be wrong about that

Blazer: Forever 21

Trousers: Forever 21

Earrings: Forever 21

Shoes: Jessica Simpson

Stretched Twist and Curl (old post)

I will be doing a few posts of hairstyles I did right before the BIG chop.
This became one of my staples this semester because it's quick and cute.
Twistout on wet hair the night before, and then I stretch the roots with a blowdryer in the morning.
Products:
Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie
Garnier MoroccanOil for shine.

This is before I stretch it out.

Finished product-I'm sorry I don't have a better pic.

Yes, those are prescription, and yep, my eyesight is pretty bad. Despite being an avid carrot eater lol.

OOTD: Teaching Style

I am going to begin student teaching in a few weeks, so I will be probably sharing a few of the outfits I wear in the classroom.
I try to keep it simple and professional.

Please excuse the blotches on the mirror-ha!

I can't really remember where I bought anything, so I'm sorry about that.

October Half Marathon

I ran a Halloween themed half marathon back in October, and here are a few pics.
I had the most perfect running weather one could ever imagine!
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I got the time that I was seeking, give or take a few minutes.
I look forward to doing more running events this year.

My costume was the lamest thing ever because I only decided at the last minute I would attempt one at all. I was the most unmotivated hula dancer in the world, I suppose, lol.
